Homeless

The story was written (well,
In my mind), it wasn’t supposed to
End. 
 
Just like that, 
 
I had already finished
Writing this chapter, the ink
Was still
 
Drying, juxtaposed 
With what was
Real—wet tears
Retracing trails 
Of words that were 
Already
Stale—no new
Pages to turn.
 
The doorknob
Of my childhood
Home, the place 
She was still
Living, (would be)
Familiar as a pen
In my hand, just one 
Twist
 
And there, 
She’d be—my first home—
On the other side
 
See how I’d written it in 
A way
That she’d never go 
Away, 
But
 
Here’s the twist—
Out of nowhere, she fell
Ill and
She left me.

    A sad flash from the past that affects the present. Emotionally felt.
